The indices are stored on polar-stereographic grids, one for each hemisphere. For the Northern Hemisphere indices, the 20 and 24 vorticity contour levels were used, and for the Southern Hemisphere, the 16 contour level was used. The 500mb Northern Hemisphere grids cover the period from January 1946 to February 1979 and the 300mb grids span the period from April 1955 to December 1977. For the Southern Hemisphere at both levels, grids are available from April 1972 to January 1978. completed datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact notPlanned dataset Binary dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral GRIDDING METHODS U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > WIND DYNAMICS > VORTICITY U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None eng utf-8 climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 1946-01 1979-02 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 428.16 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d814000/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d814000/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
